Why Develop a Suggested School Route Program?
Maps for elementary schools within the Plano Independent School District and the Frisco Independent School District have been developed that show the suggested route to school for school children coming from the surrounding residential community. A copy of each school map can be obtained from the city by calling 972-941-7152. Maps are also sent home with students at the beginning of each school year.

Suggested school route maps are developed by the City Transportation Engineering Division with input by the Plano Independent School District, Frisco Independent School District, and Public Safety Department. Suggested school routes take into account physical barriers such as railway lines, freeways and high traffic volume streets.
